Tire Question

[skillet]

So, my first mod to my Blaster is going to be wheels and tires....


I test drove it today, and I'm picking it up on Monday, but I cant stand the stock wheels/tires. I was scared to corner today. I felt unsafe.

Maxxis Razr MX Front 20x6/10
Maxxis Razr MX Rear 18x10/10 or 18x11/10
Douglas .190 Red Label 10x5
Douglas .190 Red Label 10x8

Just looking for opinions on that setup.

razrs i hear are a good tire, you will be more stable forsure, make sure you get the most offset rims you can get so it is wider.
wider=more stable

I'll make sure of that. I just want something I can slide on the trails we have. they're relatively smooth with sweeping turns at some points and are mostly level too! I'm going to use my Stock set with Kenda Klaws or something for more of a long distance/endurance ride type thing...

if your ona budget, you can look into wheel spacers. Some people dont like them but i have them and jump my quad and they havent broke yet haha.
and wayyy more stable then stock

I'm not on a tight budget. I'm not looking to be built up over night either. I'm gonna do wheels/tires first, probably pipe and silencer next... just as money permits. I'm not gonna dedicate all of my funds to this bike, but I do intend to do it right the first time. I just knew when i saw it that the wheels and tires had to go.



Edit: Spacers scare me on cars, so i appreciate the suggestion, but they do scare the sh*t out of me.

haha yea some people dont like them. but alot cheaper then 500 on a set of a-arms

 

[skillet]

Yeah, I may get a set and check em out, but I just dont like them on cars... they scare the sh*t out of me. Does it seem overboard to have 2 sets of wheels and tires? or does everyone else?

 

[specialized7]

some people do, i personally dont, well i do have a set of stock rims.

Go with 20s if you plan on doing trails and stuff. You dont wanna catch your swing-arm skid plate on a root/rock and go over the bars. 18s are cool for sand or MX but I wouldnt reccomend them for public riding areas or hard dirt/gravel

I planned on doing that with the Stock wheels, but going for a MX setup for yards and flat spots that I'll ride (Believe me, theres alot around here)

20's way to go my 18's almost killed me.
